In this season of thanksgiving and optimism in the new year, the Friends of the Terryville Library wish to express its deepest gratitude to the many patrons and volunteers who have made the first four months of the Booktique's opening a success.

When the Booktique opened in September 2012, the many volunteers who prepared the Friends' used book store hoped for humble success after all their hard work. We have seen, instead, wonderful success through a growing interest in our enterprise. In the last four months, we have truly enjoyed meeting and helping the many wonderful and generous patrons who have supported our efforts through their purchases of books and fundraising tickets, and their generous book donations. Because of these many patrons and the volunteers who have enthusiastically worked during our fall sales, the Booktique has thrived. The Friends remain forever grateful for all their patronage and help.

We also thank the Library Board, library staff and Children's Librarian Gretchen Durley for their support; Library Director Lynn White; Mayor Vincent Festa Jr., for his inspiration; and Public Works Director Anthony Lorenzetti, for his technical help and advice concerning the maintenance of the house.
